RockGen Energy, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

February 17, 1999.
    RockGen Energy, LLC (RockGen), is a limited liability company 
formed for the purpose of constructing, owning, and operating a 525 MW 
generating plant in Wisconsin. RockGen states that electric capacity 
and energy produced at the facility will be sold at market rates under 
a Power Purchase Agreement to Wisconsin Power & Light Company, 
Interstate Power Corporation, and IES Utilities, Inc. In addition, 
RockGen will sell energy to a power marketer and other third parties. 
RockGen filed an application requesting that the Commission authorize 
it to engage in power sales at market-based rates, and for certain 
waivers and authorizations. In particular, RockGen requested that the 
Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part 34 of all future 
issuances of securities and assumptions of liabilities by RockGen. On 
February 11, 1999, the Commission issued an Order Accepting For Filing 
Proposed Market-Based Rates (Order), in the above-docketed proceeding.
    The Commission's February 11, 1990 Order granted the request for 
blanket approval under Part 34, subject to the conditions found in 
Ordering Paragraphs (E), (F), and (H):
    (E) Within 30 days of the date of this order, any person desiring 
to be heard or to protest the Commission's blanket approval of 
issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities by RockGen should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214.
    (F) Absent a request to be heard within the period set forth in 
Ordering Paragraph (E) above, RockGen is hereby authorized to issue 
securities and assume obligations and liabilities as guarantor, 
indorser, surety or otherwise in respect of any security of another 
person; provided that such issue or assumption is for some lawful 
object within the corporate purposes of RockGen, compatible with the 
public interest, and reasonably necessary or appropriate for such 
purposes.
    (H) The Commission reserves the right to modify this order to 
require a further showing that neither public nor private interests 
will be adversely affected by continued Commission approval of 
RockGen's issuances of securities or assumptions of liabilities.* * *
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to 
intervene or protests, as set forth above, is March 15, 1999.
    Copies of the full text of the Order are available from the 
Commission's Public Reference Branch, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426.

Secretary.
